Chapter 138: Dream World

After closing the door, the merchant would ignore the books he had bought, except to pick up one of the four books he had just bought from Boris on the table.

The pages of this book are not much different from other books, and the content is only an introduction to some methods of dealing with dream spirits called weird dreams, and he has collected no less than thirty of these books in a few days. What is really special about this book is the unknown animal skin that wraps the cover of the book, which is the main reason why the dealer bought the book.

The merchant carefully removed the hide, spread it out in his hand, and then went to the bedroom of the room, took out another skin of almost the same color from his bedside backpack, and stacked them on top of each other.

When two skins touched, they fused together like two drops of water that had touched each other, and became a larger, darker gray skin.

"Sure enough, it's from the same omega-level higher creature!" A smile appeared on the merchant's face when he saw the changed hide, and then he said to the air in front of him, "The secondary brain system collects data and analyzes the composition of matter. ”

The out-of-town trader who caused a small commotion at the family market in the 33rd arrondissement was none other than Leo who had infiltrated the lakeside town.

Four days earlier, Leo had managed to infiltrate the lake town, but as soon as he entered the town's residential area, he ran into a bit of trouble, not because of what his outfit revealed, but because of the color of his skin.

Because of his long exposure to the sun, Leo's complexion is light brown, which is considered a healthy complexion by anyone who sees it in the world of Velon, but here this light brown color has become a skin disease called melanodermia, and is regarded as an untouchable person by the people here.

Leo, who didn't know anything about the situation, stumbled upon an ordinary person, which caused a commotion and even caused the town's guards. Thankfully, his accent solved the problem, as the Mares language he had learned from Old Man Rembrandt had become a very pure Silvermoon accent here, and he was considered a resident of Silvermoon City.

For the people of the Ten Towns, the inhabitants of Silvermoon City, even those with black skin disease, are much more noble, especially when Leo mentions that he will sell a batch of wizard healing potions and buy a batch of books for a certain scholar, they all mistakenly think that Leo is a subordinate of a certain big figure in the wizarding guild, which also makes Leo's future work much smoother.

In the past few days, by flipping through a large number of acquired books, coupled with talking to some book sellers, Leo has a very detailed and complete understanding of the world in a very short period of time.

There is no unified name for this world, and the ordinary people of the Ten Towns are used to calling this world the Moon Lake World, because this world is composed of Silver Moon Lake as the center. However, the Night's Watch and the Fog Guard's Castle are more accustomed to calling it the Misty World, as they are well aware that the outer perimeter of this world is all fog, and that Silvermoon Lake is likely to occupy only a small part of the entire world.

However, compared to these two fairly well-founded titles, the name defined by the Wizarding Guild as this world felt a bit absurd to everyone, and the wizards called this world the primordial dream world.

As for why the Wizards Association called this world, the people of the Wizards Association themselves couldn't tell, but they knew that this title had been passed down for a long time, and the relevant information had long been lost. Therefore, in the absence of a mandatory requirement, the name given to the world by the Wizarding Guild is only found in some official documents within the Wizarding Guild, and is not circulated in the Ten Towns or other regions.

It's just that, in the eyes of Leo, an outsider, the title of the primordial dream realm should be the most correct name for this nightmare realm, which also proves from one side that the sages of the Wizards Association knew very well what the essence of this world was, and now the wizards of the Wizards Association have degraded their understanding of the nature of this world.

However, after Leo learned the name Primordial Dream Realm, he was not so concerned about the Wizarding Guild as he was more concerned about the hidden secrets in the name. Since this dream world has the word Primordial, it means that there are other similar dream worlds, and they should have been discovered by the sages of the Wizarding Guild, otherwise they would not have used the word Primordial in their names.

However, until he had any more detailed information, Leo's conjecture about the name could only end there.

In addition to learning about the three different names of the world from his conversations, Leo also learned about the structure of the Wizarding Guild, the Night's Watch organization, and some of the mysterious organizations in Ten Towns that have disappeared or still exist from a large number of books he had recently acquired.

It's just that the content of these materials is either vague or brushed aside, and there is not much really useful content, only a diary of a veteran dedicated to guarding the castle in the fog area gave him a little understanding of some of the real situation in this world.

According to the diary, Leo learned about the true role of the cemeteries in the forest, and the intention of Silvermoon City and the Ten Towns to set up a fog zone to guard the castle.

The diary mentions more than once that the Fog Guard Castle was set up specifically for the Border Fog Zone, and it is also vaguely mentioned in the text that this castle can be moved, and that there are as many as ten castles like this, which were jointly built by the Wizarding Guild and the mechanics of Ten Towns.

The cemetery was built to dispel the fog area, as Leo had guessed outside the forest, as the wizard found that by burying the bodies of the dead in a specific place and allowing them to dissolve naturally in the soil, the surrounding fog would dissipate, but the process would be slow, usually taking more than ten years to complete the final dissolution.

In addition, there is a very small paragraph of text in this diary, about less than 300 words, mentioning two important information, if it were not for the analysis and recording of the paracerebral system, perhaps Leo would have ignored this not too long text.

The first important message in this passage is very clear that there was no fog zone in the past, and the second important information is relatively vague to mention that the appearance of the fog zone may be related to a riot that occurred in Silvermoon City hundreds of years ago without any written records, only legends.

From some specialized books, Leo learned that the Fog Monsters, or Dream Spirits, originated from the Fog Zone, which means that when the Fog Zone appeared, these monsters representing chaos and disorder appeared, and before that the world was a normal and orderly world.

This made Leo think of the consciousness of the night god, according to his speculation before the frightened stomp, the composition of this world is because of the dream of the night god, and the dream world can change from chaos and disorder to such an orderly state because of the awakening of the night god's consciousness, and now the world seems to be trying to return to the state of chaos, so does this mean that there is something wrong with the night god's consciousness? Is it sleeping? or is it closed?

It was this simple veteran's diary that allowed Leo to obtain a lot of useful information, so that the focus of the subsequent acquisition of books was on this type of diary.

In fact, his method was also very effective, in two days, in addition to those books, he had acquired a total of more than a hundred diaries, which involved more than thirty kinds of trades, from the guards of Lake Town, to ordinary weavers, from the members of an underground organization in Ten Towns to the handwritten manuscripts of a certain noble mistress in Silvermoon City more than a hundred years ago, which gave him a deep understanding of the real situation of the Ten Towns and the various classes of Silvermoon City.

The most surprising thing to him was that he even received two diaries of the life of the apprentices of the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City more than two hundred years ago, although the diaries did not record anything related to witchcraft, but they gave him an understanding of the internal organization of the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City in advance, which was more useful to Leo than any knowledge of witchcraft.

Originally, Leo was going to spend all the money he had gained from the wizard's potion and then look for an opportunity to go to Silvermoon City, but this time the books he inadvertently acquired made him discover that there might be something useful inside the town on the Seventh Lake, which he hadn't discovered.

When he saw the book just now, he immediately recognized that the animal skin used for the book seemed to be the same as the animal skin he had obtained from Valentin, and then he confirmed it and decided to buy it.

Although he only wanted this book, in order to avoid revealing his mind, he still chose three more books and bought them together, and when he held it in his hand, the analysis results and suggestions given to him by the parabrain system were omega-level biological debris and wreckage fusion.

So, he had the next move.

And now after the two animal skins are fused, the coat color of the animal skin has changed somewhat, turning gray, and the paracerebral system has also issued new prompts.

This hint means that this animal skin is now emitting a new wavelength of psionic energy, and this wavelength is somewhat different from the previous wavelength of psionic energy of the animal skin, so Leo asked the auxiliary brain system to carefully collect and analyze all kinds of data about the hide.

"Unknown remains of an advanced organism of the Amino type, slightly damaged essentia, inabsorbable. Leo had a slightly serious look on his face when he saw the results of the analysis that the accessory brain system fed back on his retina.

He remembered that the first hide he had gotten from Valentin had been a hint of wizarding artifacts, the remains of unknown omega-level higher creatures, essentia damage, and inabsorbability, but now, the hint of wizarding artifacts had disappeared, and essentia damage had turned into minor damage, and it was clear that the two skins had undergone some changes after fusing them.

These changes indicate that the remains of the omega-level higher creatures represented by the hides are recovering, and depending on the situation, as long as more skins of the same kind are found and fused and absorbed, then sooner or later, the remains of the omega-level higher creatures will recover to an unpredictable state, and may even produce a new omega-level higher creatures.

At the time of the Earth Federation, there were also some omega-level creatures in the universe that would multiply by splitting themselves, and sometimes an ordinary body remnant of an omega-level creature could evolve into a new omega-level higher creature after being supplemented by certain conditions, and the current skin in Leo's hand seems to be the same.

After getting the results of the analysis he wanted, Leo hadn't thought about what to do with the hide, but he was sure that he wouldn't let the other skin pieces fuse until he found a way to prevent the hide from metamorphosing in an unpredictable direction.

Leo, who had made the decision, folded the hide, wrapped it and put it in his backpack, and then sorted out the books he had acquired today, and recorded the books he had not read in the database.

The whole recording process went very smoothly, and it only took more than an hour to read more than a hundred new books, and at this time, I saw from the window that the clock tower of the town had also passed a square, and the light on the markers changed from dull gold to silver, indicating that the day had entered a period of rest.

Residents who worked in nearby manufacturing factories have returned to District 33, making this relatively quiet area of town noisy.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of Leo's temporary room, which surprised Leo.

Although he had been buying books in the small room of the family market for the past few days, he had not had much lively communication with the merchants of the other small workshops around him, or more accurately, the other merchants did not want to come into contact with him unless he was in business.

Curious, Leo stepped forward to open the door, only to see a middle-aged man in an ancient ceremony dress standing outside the door, this middle-aged man saw Leo, his eyes involuntarily flashed a trace of disgust, but he still held back his disgust, but took out an invitation, in a tone that could not be refused, and said: "Lord Count Andrei XIII, tonight in the Moonlight Courtyard banquet, I hope Your Excellency can be there." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Leo to agree, he directly stuffed the invitation card into Leo's hand, and then took out his handkerchief and wiped the hand holding the invitation as if he had been stained with something, and turned around and left the floor expressionlessly.

Leo didn't feel any negative about the servant's rudeness, for to him the servant was as ridiculous as an ant with teeth and claws at a giant, and he didn't deserve any attention, and he now wanted to know why he had been invited.

Andre XIII is the true ruler of the town on the Seventh Lake, and he is also a direct descendant of Andrew Alcott, the heir to the purest bloodline, according to them. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the Alcott family that rules the ten towns all intermarry, and what is even more incredible is that they are not only married between cousins, but even between brothers and sisters, and now it is even more absurd that there will also be intermarriage between father and daughter, mother and son.

For example, Andre XIII's parents are father and daughter, and what surprised Leo even more was that Andre XIII's mother was now his wife, and she gave birth to three boys and a girl for him.

Although Leo also knew from some records that there had been intermarriages between relatives in the ancient dynasties of the Old Earth Era, it was the first time that he had seen such a close marriage like the Alcott family, so it was inevitable that he would be surprised.
